JUNE 29, 1918
FOUR MEALS PER
WEEK WITH BEEF
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday Eve
ning, and Saturday Noontime
Only Meals With Beef
on Menus.
The orders to serve standard beef
only at four meals a week were work
pd out as to days and meals to meet
local conditions best. Mr. Eider ex
plained the necessity for the orders,
and all those present Joined in a dis
cussion as to the best manner of ap
ply inp them in accord with the needs
of the business here without lessening
the prohibition of beef use in public
eating places.
When Is Hamburger Beef?
The most discussion was about the
relation of hamburger to 'beef.
was finally decided that hamburger Is
a by-product of beef as actually found
in the market.
Hamburger sandwiches will be serv
ed at counters, but not between 6 a.
m. and 10 a. m., in the morning.
All restaurants and hotels must keep
""par bowls off the tables and coun
ters. They most serve only two slices
of victory bread to the customer, but
any quantity of rye, corn or other sub
stitute breads without wheat flour may
tie served.
There are three hotels, six restau
rants and eleven lunch counters on the
list of the food administration in Keo
kuk.
POLITICAL TALK "OVER THERE."
Harry C. Evans in a letter from
France: Th.e boys are not thinking
or caring much about partisan poli
tics. They're not caring a picayune
about the dear old democratic party
or the g. o. p. as parties, but they are
thinking of individuals. In a gTeat
crisis, when the public is of one mind
men become the issue. Just now our
boys over here are talking more
about Roosevelt and Pershing and
President Wilson than any others.
Roosevelt would probably be elected
President if the election was today,
if the soldier vote in France deter
mined the matter. However, the
American general who this year and
next leads our armies to victory will
be a formidable candidate for the
Presidency.

General Evan M. Johnson.
Five American divisions, which have
been brigaded with the British, had
been turned back to Pershing.
No announcement as to the total of
Overseas shipments was forthcoming

today. Presumably it is held for a
Fourth of July statement that the first
million mark had been passed.
In the absence of his full official re
port on yesterday's drive, March de
clined any interpretive statement.
But, he viewed the entire front sit
uation as favorable to the allies and
pointed out that the Italian success
had been inspiring from both a mili
tary and psychological standpoint.
His reports show the Italians had
captured 18,000 Austrians.
The Italians have restored their line
to practically what it was before the
